[Ultrasonic examination of the epigastrium in persons with Gilbert's syndrome]
Abstract:
In 29 subjects with Gilbert's syndrome during ultrasonographic examination of the epigastrium in real time a significantly larger anteroposterior dimension of the right liver lobe (by cca 11%] was found. In the other investigated dimensions no significant deviations were found, not even a significantly higher echogeneity of the liver parenchyma. In two instances multiple cholecystolithiasis was detected. Sonography, a non-invasive method with a high yield, is an important link in the examination programme of subjects with Gilbert's syndrome.

Assessment of the Abdomen I: Inspection and Auscultation
The abdominal examination is a cornerstone of clinical medicine, serving as a critical tool in diagnosing various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. It involves a systematic approach that includes inspection and auscultation, each with distinct yet complementary roles in assessing the abdomen. This article will delve into these two primary methods healthcare professionals use to examine the abdomen.
